Tranquebar
Called Tharangambadi in Tamil, Tranquebar is sure to take you back in time. This place developed as a Danish colony in India from 1620 to 1845 and is located in Nagappattinam district. The main fort here, Fort Dansborg, is a museum now with artefacts from the period.
The first Protestant missionary to come to India was Barthelamaus Zieganbalg. He translated the Bible into Tamil. He is buried here. The place was a major missionary centre for many years but now the churches and the fort have been renovated to attract tourists from around the world.
Yelagiri
A relaxed stay with complete peace of mind is assured in the Yelagiri hills. When other hill stations get crowded in summers, Yelagiri offers you complete solitude and tranquility. Located at an altitude of 3500 meters, this place is surrounded by orchards, rose gardens and green valleys. A trekker’s paradise, adventure sports like paragliding and rock climbing have been recently introduced. Yelagiri consists of 14 hamlets spread over a couple of hills. The highest point in Yelagiri is Swamimalai Hills from where the view of the green valley is simply breathtaking. Best reached from Jolarpettai railway station which is just 19 km away, Yelagiri is 240 km from Chennai and 150 km from Bangalore. So it provides a quick getaway for those who live and work in these concrete jungles.
Puducherry
The former French colony of Puducherry gives you the perfect peek into everything French. The streets still bear French names, the buildings and streets still bear the French aura. The international Auroville village and Aurobindo Ashram are the major centres of attraction. Temples like Manakkula Vinayagar, monuments like Ayi Manadapam, many serene beaches are likely to enthral you. Just four km south of Puducherry is Arikamedu, the ancient trade centre where important excavations have been carried out by archaeologists.
